Littlehampton, South East • England
At the mouth of the River Arun, Littlehampton is West Sussex's working seaside town — port, beaches and estates on the A259 between Bognor Regis and Worthing, in the BN postcode area. It's a practical base for crews working across the coastal plain. KrewBase houses working crews in whole serviced properties here: bills in our name, Wi-Fi tested before check-in, practical parking and one monthly invoice for your office.
Littlehampton's housing comes in clear bands: older terraced streets around the town centre, 1930s semis inland towards Wick, and post-war estates to the north and east off the A259. For crews, the semis and estate houses usually win — a drive for the vans, a garden for boots and kit, and a bit of space between neighbours. Every house is checked for real parking, not assumed kerb space, before it reaches a shortlist.
Converted flats and flats above shops can work for crews of two or three on shorter stays, but bigger crews are better in whole houses. We look for two bathrooms when five or more are staying, properly sized bedrooms rather than box rooms, and somewhere to dry work gear — on the coast, with sea air and sideways rain, that matters more than people expect.
Work along this stretch of the West Sussex coast keeps crews in town: construction and housing development around the Arun district, harbour and marine work at the port, utilities and grid maintenance, NHS and care shifts, and logistics moving between the coastal towns. We house crews working across the whole area — towards Chichester, Worthing and the villages inland — not just inside Littlehampton itself.
Because the town sits on the coast road rather than a motorway, we shortlist strictly on drive time from your site. Send us the site postcode and shift pattern and we'll come back with houses that cut the commute rather than add to it. If the contract moves inland or along the coast, we re-shortlist around the new location — same house standard, same invoice.
The A259 is the coastal artery: Worthing is about nine miles east, Bognor Regis seven west, and Chichester roughly thirteen. Inland, the A29 and A284 link towards Pulborough and the A24 for jobs deeper into West Sussex. Littlehampton station sits on the West Coastway line, so crew members arriving without a van can get in from Brighton, Portsmouth or Southampton directly.
For site-specific shortlists we work from the site postcode and shift times. A house five minutes further out can beat a closer one if it skips the town-centre crawl, and we weight off-road parking heavily for night-shift crews so nobody's loading vans at 5am under a neighbour's window. Day sleep is the point of the house, so we plan for it.
You let the whole property — not rooms in someone else's house. Bills are in our name: council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before check-in, heating is checked, and anything that breaks during the stay is fixed by us, not negotiated between your crew and a landlord. A cleaner visits weekly with fresh linen so the house stays workable even on long jobs, and the whole setup stays consistent from week to week.
Everything lands on one monthly invoice — rent, bills, cleaning — paid by card, with no booking fees and no minimum crew or stay. A two-person crew for a fortnight books as readily as a twenty-strong crew for six months. To price it we need the site postcode, crew size, start date and expected length of stay, and the quote comes back with the shortlist itself.
Send us the requirement — town, dates, headcount, vehicles and any shift pattern we should know about. We come back within 2 hours with a shortlist from property we already hold, not a search we have just started. You pick, we confirm, the crew moves in, and we stay on it for the length of the job. One monthly invoice, card payment for limited companies, no booking fees.
Within two working hours of receiving the site postcode, crew size, start date and duration, we'll send a shortlist. We work from drive time and shift pattern, so the houses we send are ones that genuinely cut the commute, not just ones nearby on a map.
Yes — Wick, the town centre, the estates north and east, and out towards Rustington, Angmering and the villages inland. Crews working towards Worthing or Chichester can also be based here. The house standard and one monthly invoice are the same wherever we place you.
Off-road parking is one of our non-negotiables for trades crews. Coastal streets can be tight, so we check every property's drive against your actual vehicles before it reaches the shortlist. Where a drive won't fit a van, we'll say so rather than leave the crew hunting for a space after a night shift.
Yes — council tax, gas, electric, water and broadband are all in our name and wrapped into the rate. Wi-Fi is speed-tested before anyone checks in. Your office receives one monthly invoice covering everything, with no separate utility paperwork to process.
For stays beyond a few nights, usually. A whole house gives the crew a kitchen, a washing machine, a lounge and proper beds — and it costs less per person than hotel rooms once you add food and laundry. It also keeps the crew together rather than scattered along a corridor. For one-night stopovers a hotel still wins; we'd say so.
Yes. Tell us the shift pattern and we'll favour quiet streets, off-road parking and bedrooms away from the road, so the crew can sleep through the day. We also brief the cleaner accordingly. Day sleep is the whole point of the house, and we plan for it like it matters — because it does.

Littlehampton sits about 17 miles from Brighton. Plenty of crews working here base themselves in the city and drive out, especially on longer jobs or when the local supply is thin. Our contractor accommodation Brighton page covers houses across the wider area — two people or twenty, same service.
